One administration position at Jabalpur

ICMR-NITHR intends to engage one Young Professional-I in Administration on a temporary contract. The position supports the management of research and programme activities rather than clinical practice or laboratory research. The institute is on Nagpur Road in Garha, Jabalpur. Although the advertisement shares number 06/2026-27 with other institute recruitment, this YP-I notice has its own eligibility, tenure and walk-in instructions and should be read separately.

Graduation and qualifying experience

Applicants need graduation in any discipline with at least 55% from a recognized university or college. At least one year of relevant work after the qualifying degree is essential. Internship and training periods do not count toward that year. Make a clear chronology showing degree completion, employer, role and dates, rather than adding all experience before and during graduation. The administration relevance must also be supported; one year of unrelated work is not automatically sufficient.

Preferred background and computer skills

The institute prefers post-qualification administration experience in government organizations, strong Hindi and English writing, and policy or communications exposure in health or research. Knowledge of IT applications, virtual meeting platforms and Word, Excel and PowerPoint is useful. Experience with audit administration, accounts/finance and office platforms is an added advantage. These are desirable strengths, so distinguish them from the essential graduation percentage and minimum work experience when assessing eligibility.

Responsibilities of the Young Professional

The role assists coordination and implementation of division research and programme activities. It also supports office administration, project management, research-fund processes, sanction/release work, project queries, e-office and GeM-related administration. Accuracy in correspondence, records and spreadsheets is therefore relevant. The notice does not publish a daily roster or promise a particular administrative section; work allocation will follow the institute's project and office needs.

Age, remuneration and benefits

The overview table says maximum 30, while the detailed Table A specifies less than 30 on the walk-in date; applicants close to that boundary should seek clarification and follow the detailed eligibility table. Applicable relaxation is governed by the stated rules. Monthly remuneration is ₹35,000 with no HRA. Regular-staff benefits such as pension, staff quarters and leave-travel facilities are not promised to this temporary human-resource position.

Contract length and service restriction

Initial engagement is one year. Extension can be considered one year at a time for up to two further years, subject to need and satisfactory performance, so three years is the maximum rather than a guaranteed term. People already in regular service under Central/State Government, autonomous departments or PSUs are ineligible. A contract does not create a claim to regularization or transfer to another ICMR assignment, and the institute retains its stated termination and recruitment-cancellation powers.

Walk-in and supporting records

The walk-in starts from 9 am on 6 November 2026 at ICMR-NITHR, Nagpur Road, Dhanvantri Nagar, Garha, Jabalpur 482003. Bring the completed prescribed application, attachments supporting educational specialization and experience, and originals for verification. Eligibility will be checked before participation in interview. No TA/DA is paid and applicants arrange transport or accommodation themselves. Use an active phone and email in the application for any subsequent communication.

Preparing an administration application

Application guidance: use short examples of office coordination, a funding or procurement workflow you supported, and the accuracy checks you used in records or spreadsheets. Identify the Hindi/English drafting and software tasks you can actually perform. This is advice for presenting relevant evidence, not a separate employer test syllabus. Check the NITHR/ICMR website for corrigenda and carry the correct YP-I form rather than a form from an unrelated project recruitment.
